Sets up uniform standards for the selection, installation, maintenance, and repair of currently-approved vibration damping materials, except those used for mounts, pipe damping, Dynamic Nonlinear Vibration Dissipators (DNVD), and axial stave damping.

This standard practice establishes uniform standards for the selection, installation, maintenance, and repair of currently-approved vibration damping materials, except those used for mounts, pipe damping, Dynamic Nonlinear Vibration Dissipators (DNVD), and axial stave damping. Information on mounts and pipe damping may be found in NAVSHIPS 0939-001-2010. It specifies the types of damping materials to be used in both submarines and surface ships, delineates those areas where the treatments normally are applied, and provides procedures for their installation and maintenance. Details for inspection, repair, and installation of DNVD tiles may be found in NAVSEA Drawing 630-6406489. Details for inspection, repair, installation, and replacement of axial stave damping may be found in NAVSEA S9073-AF-SNC-010(C). This document is intended to supplement individual ship specifications, and to provide guidance in those instances where specific direction has not been made available in the form of ship specifications.
